Ooooohhhh Post number 6!!!!
At 36 just because an easy opportunity becomes available you call that passion for flying or following your dreams!!!! Sounds like you've had things handed to you on a silver platter. Tell you what, pull your head out of your ass and speak to those individuals who've had to do whatever was necessary to pursue their dreams, like getting !!!! jobs in Africa, the Arctic, etc. Then perhaps you will get an appreciation and understanding of what it means to have passion.
I am strong believer that this cadet scheme should ONLY be open to locals from Hong Kong. They are the ones who have almost no means of pursuing a career in aviation. It is utter BS how the company claims that there isn't enough local talent when there is plenty.
Use your head and think about it, Management makes us hate these new cadets, which weakens solidarity, which gives them a stronger hand.
Where the hell do you get your logic from???? Managers don't give a (how did you put it) f*** whether or not you support the international cadets. Furthermore what new cadet is going to fight the overall fight when they view you as a fat cat??
Stop wasting time and energy directing your wrath at the cadets, that's what management wants and it's not going to improve things one bit. Direct your anger at the system.
So what are YOU going to do about it???
Also I am not dictating who can and cannot join the cadet scheme. We are debating the folly of this one individual's decision, and the decision of others who have respected, well paid careers and are ready to throw it away with indirect consequence to the profession as a whole.
